An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More)

Only Angels Have Wings, the classic 1939 Howard Hawks romantic love triangle pilot airplane aviation adventure thriller ("Together for the first time"; "Each day a rendezvous with peril... each night a meeting with romance!"; a wild story of a showgirl arriving in a mythical tiny South American country where a cynical American expatriate runs an airplane mail delivery service which involves treacherous plane flights over the Andes; there are other pilots who risk their lives and other romantic involvements, and the plot is really complicated, but the movie moves quickly, and it has a great cast, and is considered one of Howard Hawks' very best movies) starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Thomas Mitchell, Rita Hayworth, Richard Barthelmess, Don 'Red' Barry, Noah Beery Jr., Miisa Sierra, Allyn Joslyn, and Sig Ruman. Note that you almost never see major Hollywood movies with two extremely attractive female leads who are fan favorites, but this one had both Jean Arthur, who had been acting for many years, but was at the height of her popularity, and Rita Hayworth, who would soon become one of America's most favorite sexy actresses!

Important Added Info: Note that the movie is called "Plane No. 4" on the snipe on the back of this still, which was the working title for this movie (it says "tentative title" after the title)!

Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the left of the still.

Condition: good. The left 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). There are many scuffs scattered throughout the image, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light (it looks like someone may have scribbled on a piece of paper that was laying on top of this still at one time).
